How to convert Grams to Kilograms

The gram is one thousandth of a kilogram and is common in cooking and chemistry. The kilogram is the SI base unit of mass; since 2019 it is defined by the Planck constant.

To convert Grams to Kilograms, multiply the value in g by 0.001. For example, 10 g × 0.001 = 0.01 kg. This works because the ratio between the two units is constant for every value in weight.
